A few things you missed



Happy Tuesday, y'all! I know in my previous post I mentioned as one of my October goals was to blog more.... well, considering this is my second blog in all of October and it's almost November I didn't fall through. BUT I have many reasons to which I'll share :)

Over the past couple of weeks Caleb & I have been anxiously awaiting an approval of our offer on the home we want as a first home together! Well guess who got an acceptance from the bank? Us. I can not tell you how happy we were to hear them finally accept it. I screeched like a little girl. Eeeeeek! I was in class when the realtor sent us the good news and had to wait to find out why my phone was blowing up with texts/calls/emails. But let me tell you; it was the best news we've heard in a while about the home.

Other events that occurred while I was MIA from blogging: Our Save the Dates. Luckily Caleb's sister has a nice camera and was able to take them for us free of charge! I mean...who doesn't love free things? No one!Crazy people actually.

Besides that, we also went on a little idea shopping date for future furniture for our home. I am beyond excited to start the renovation process to our little fixer-upper. Thankfully I have a sweet man and future father-inlaw who are GREAT handymen. Y'all, they can fix a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g & for that, I'm more grateful. I sure did pick the right one ;) 

Do y'all have any tips for new home almost owners? Any cute decorations for around the house? I'd love to talk diy because I'm  sucker for stuff from scratch. Comment and let me know what cute ideas you have/d for your home. Or you can email me Here.


On another note: God is working great on me and my life. I'm still in school surviving and keeping my grades to A's.I graduate in May a week before our wedding ;) I am in the midst of my application to the university of Florida (UF Gators) and am praying nonstop that once I submit it they will accept me when the time comes for acceptancees. So friends and family please keep me in your prayers over the next couple of months + especially as I go through the waiting process of hearing my determination.

Whew! That covers quite a bit that has happened. 

Something to look forward to


*Getting out of my boot- I broke my ankle back in September doing a mudrun. I know you're thinking how in the world? The monkey bars. Don't trust em! I slipped and fell right down hard on my ankle and my knee caved. So I broke my left ankle in three places with a severe sprain and have a nice contusion (Bruise) in my right knee. So blessed to have been taken care of over the past several weeks but I can't wait to get my boot off on Halloween and be able to finally wear matching shoes! Let alone two shoes! 
P.S. When I was little I wanted a broken bone so bad so I would be able to wear a cast that I would roll off my bunk-bed and land on my arm just to break it. No luck. But some years later I'm biting my tongue because it is NOT fun.


*The holidays- Hello! Thanksgiving is only 30 days away, y'all. Which means Black Friday is so close after. Christmas is 57. Holy flippin cow time is flying. I love the holidays not only for the amazing food but for the moments I get to spend with my loved ones. With everyone working and in school it's hard for us all to gather often. With the holidays it gives us that special time to create fun moments to talk about years to come. 

Here's a last reminder for the week: "and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds"


With love, Britt
